As
you’ve probably all noticed, Disney has been recently remaking all
its classic animated movies into live-action versions. I guess it
makes them feel more modern and allows the makers to somewhat alter
the material to better represent our current society.

They
haven’t all been great successes, though. Let’s take a look at
the Disney live-action remakes, from worst to best.

Dumbo

I
mean, Tim Burton does some amazing things, but he really isn’t the
best match for Disney. We need something more than just the weirdness
of how Burton films things to keep us going, and this remake really
doesn’t have a lot going for it story-wise.

Alice
In Wonderland

Whether
we’re talking about the original or the sequel, this version of
Alice in Wonderland was acceptable purely because of the fact that
it’s a weird story and Tim Burton does weird things. Also, Johnny
Depp is weird. That’s pretty much it.

Tarzan

Yeah,
no. While the Burton movies were weird and horrible, this one was
just horrible. Normal, but horrible.

The
Jungle Book

Not
everything can be as it was, but the Lion King is surely still a
great movie. If you’re lucky it might even be in theaters near you,
so go watch it if you can. Disney has perfected their method over the
years and this is one of the best ones they’ve done.

Cinderella

This one completely nails the original. It’s not a complex storyline and they decided that for the remake it didn’t need to be any more complex – that’s why this one absolutely does the job perfectly.
